much bent d-Wn on the other, looks eX-
ceedingiy pretty with the crown draped
lightly with white Mauresque lace. and
trimmed with full cluster of Marechal
Mel roses and handful of pale green
leaves. This hat is lined underneath
with folds of white point d'esprit.
Another pretty shape, kind of modi-
fed sailor, looks very smart turned up
at the back and covered entirely with
puffings of navy-blue tulle, held in place
round the crown by band of navy blue
and white striped ribbon. The back is
caught up with mixed blue and white
ribbon bows, while some clusters of
eorn-f1owers and two OR three Marguer-
ties rest right on the top of the crown.
A sailor shape which will be more use
full later on in the season is. made in
olive-green straw, and trimmed at the
back and high on the crown with
punches of blue-green ribbon, very
